Hurricaine Ike in Kentucky

This is the big one that went down. I am so sad, though Claire and Katey now think it is their own playhouse.



The top of the tree on the right is the one that came off. Paul has been wanting to get it cut anyway, so the storm did us that favor.


These are some branches that came down in the backyard.
This is the tree that lost about half of the trunk, but I think we will go ahead and cut it all the way down. The consensus of neighbors and friends is that the remaining tree won't survive.
